At this point this is common statement in this thread, but while my initial exposure to trans stuff was confusing and strange, I did accept that people have the right to do what they want with their bodies and there was no need to cause conflict over people's personal choices.
This was before I actually had much experience with transgenders, particularly, MtF, or more colloquially, dicksnippers, eunuchs, hunchbacks, et cetera. I know people online who are such- they're generally nice people and are passive and harmless, but they're very clearly mentally unwell, and one openly admits to it but not in the way I think they need to.
Over the years I think I've identified three main subsets of tranny- I'm limiting these to MtF, since my experience with FtM is near nonexistent. First, the "true" trans, which would be somebody with a genetic disorder that well and truly interferes with their brain's ability to identify as a particular sex, see XXY and that sort of thing. Second, are the exploitative perverts. These have overlap with the final most relevant subset, but I'm still of the opinion these contemptible sorts are still not the majority, even if their identity does mean they're unwisely protected by the others.
The final sort is the hyper emasculated self effacing male, that I believe is the vast, vast majority. They are mentally unwell, and have linked their unhappiness to the expectations of society for males, whether they recognize it as such or not. Many MtF I've heard talk about this say they didn't " feel like a man." Getting around the fact that they don't know what it's like to feel like a woman, what does it mean to feel like a man? You could write a book on this, but I'll summarize it in a few words as "dominant, successful, and decisive." The general expectation of a man in every society is to show strength and independence and to be the breadwinner, and every single troon I've come to know, to put it bluntly and without mercy, has been weak willed and overly emotional, and in short, has decided they'd rather not be men because they either feel incapable of fulfilling and/or want to hide away from the male obligation, while not shedding the perks, ie the hypersexualization and "transbian" attraction to females.
Yet, because they're biological males, the idol of transgenderism has invariably turned out to be a false god, as the source of their misery isn't something they've been provided an actual solution to. One of these people complains on a regular basis about how they hate their appearance and their voice- their unhappiness is compounded by their new identity rather than assuaged.
Online people and IRL people are differently handled, though. Yes, this example of a person is very mentally unwell and is not taking proper action to solve their actual problems rather than hiding in a metaphorical hole (a stinkditch- but they haven't had srs so there's still hope there). I think my limit has been reached with an actual irl example, involving the family of a family friend.
See, this person is a rather typical MtF, I think, in that when I saw them, they just looked like a guy with long hair. When you look like me when I shave my face, sorry, but my go to reaction isn't "that's a woman." Relatively recently, at an event a their mother took them to ( they live at home and do not work) they were accosted by a homeless man. Hobos are a whole other can of worms societally, but the point is that they tend to (also) be very mentally unwell and less able to properly socialize. A well rounded person knows this and tries to be patient, but in the face of being mocked by an old hobo, the troon evidently lacked the mental fortitude to accept that some grody old crazy hobo had the gall to berate their cosmetics and appearance, otherwise known as what every person has to deal with at some point if they go outside. This is a person who does not help out around the house with their elderly parents or disabled sister, this is somebody who is not resilient enough to accept the consequences of their own choices or that anybody at all would do anything besides accept them.
Of note is that my parents are relatively left leaning (mother moreso than my father of course) and they still talk about how tiresome it is, and how tiresome it's gotten in general as society has chosen to celebrate the charade and punish any contention or criticism.
My conclusion is thus that trannies are severely mentally unwell people given the equivalent of new-age treatments with glitter and quartz crystal energy, whose insular nature combined with male behavioral traits results in an aggressive outcast caste who lack the willpower and mental fortitude to function properly in a society that, by the nature of humanity, will have its differences with one another. This has led a number to seek control and influence over people they have no commonality with, no empathy for, while being unaccepting of any compromise or perception of restrictions on themselves. This is an extremely dangerous path- not to the majority of people, I think, but to themselves. Already I know a lot of people who are pretty fed up with the bullshit, and if the troons don't start doing more house cleaning, I fear a serious risk of disproportionate backlash rather than the ideal solution of not making treatment of mental illness a political statement and treating dysphoria as a disease to be treated rather than a fantasy to be indulged.
I've seen a statement against the recent Canadian laws concerning assisted suicide (I refuse to use their propaganda downplaying term) by a psychiatrist who basically summarizes the problem of the mentally unwell being unfit to decide whether they should kill themselves or not, as they will readily choose short term release over long term health and gain because they're, you know, mentally ill. The insane should not run the asylum for good reason, but for some reason, this monstrosity of society has been deemed the best source on how to treat their own insanity. This absurdity must be amended. We do not take the word of murderous psychopaths as sound advice when they say all they need to be better is a steady stream of nubile young women to torture and murder, the mentally unwell need to be treated as such, for their own good, or else we will be left with a lost generation of Peter Pansexuals who never grew up or learned how to weather the harshness of the world.
The IRL experience has finally crystalized this belief that, for the vast majority, people going trans is self destructive at best, and at worst, an active detriment to those around them as their maintenance demands increase and their expectations inflate disproportionately to their appearance and wellbeing. The sentiment that this is the modern equivalent of lobotomies is one I well agree with, but it's not something transgender people will sacrifice. They are averse to self improvement and introspection in a way that isn't a fantasy, they prefer to deny reality rather than face its hard truths, and exhaust their support groups and social structure as they demand other people submit to their imaginary world.
Unfortunately for them, and hopefully not unfortunately for the future, the solution will have to be external, or there will have to be a revolution of thought in their spheres.
